Here is my War Wheels GB entry, Trumpeter's 1/35 Canadian Army LAV-III. To this Im adding a Black Dog LAV-III accessory set and some brass antenna mounts, all purchased from Elm City Hobbies. I will try to depict a LAV-III deployed to Afganistan. As of right now, I am undecided on the "T" antenna mount. I may try to scratch build a mount using evergreen stock or I may opt for the Real Model pe set for the "T" mount. If I find any photographic eveidence of CDN LAV-III in the 'Stan with the normal whip antennals, Ill go that route instead.
Im not gonna go into a full review of the kit except to say its a beauty of a kit. Trumpy's Stryker series LAVs are quite nice to begin with, plus add the parts needed to make an out of the box Canadian LAV-III and what is there not to like. Oly thing really missing is som stawage gear and maybe a few figures, I suppose that is what the aftermarket is for, One thing I find odd is the option to display the drivers windscreen in place but there is no inerior detail to see behind the glass. I may add a rear and side bulkheads to the drivers compartement to fill the void a bit.
